Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Twin Hospitality Group Inc. entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with White Lion Capital LLC, giving the company the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $50.0 million of newly issued Class A common stock over a defined period. The arrangement is structured as an equity purchase facility, where Twin Hospitality can deliver different types of purchase notices, including fixed, rapid and VWAP-based purchases, subject to conditions in the agreement.

The company also signed a Registration Rights Agreement requiring it to file a resale registration statement with the SEC within 30 days to cover shares issued to White Lion, including specified commitment shares. The commitment shares are to be issued in three tranches, each calculated as $125,000 divided by the market closing price of the stock on certain future dates or milestones. The commitment period runs for 36 months from signing or until the full $50.0 million capacity is used, and Twin Hospitality may terminate the purchase agreement after delivering the commitment shares.

Insights

Twin Hospitality secures a flexible equity facility of up to $50M.

The company has arranged a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with White Lion Capital LLC that allows, but does not require, it to sell up to $50.0 million of newly issued Class A common stock over a 36‑month commitment period. This operates as an equity line, giving Twin Hospitality discretion to draw capital through different purchase notice types, including fixed, rapid and VWAP-based mechanisms, as long as contractual conditions are met.

A key element is the accompanying Registration Rights Agreement, under which Twin Hospitality must file a registration statement within 30 days to permit resale of both the purchase shares and the commitment shares. The commitment shares are sized using three separate $125,000 reference amounts, divided by closing market prices on specified dates or upon reaching $7,500,000 in aggregate gross proceeds from purchase notices, which ties issuance levels to actual market pricing and use of the facility.

The practical impact will depend on how much of the $50.0 million capacity Twin Hospitality ultimately uses and at what prices, since each draw involves issuing new shares. The agreement also includes customary termination triggers, including the passage of 36 months or certain bankruptcy-related events, while preserving registration rights under the RRA.

Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 30, 2025, Twin Hospitality Group Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and related Registration Rights Agreement (the “RRA”) with White Lion Capital, LLC (“White Lion). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to require White Lion to purchase, from time to time, up to $50.0 million in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued Class A common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”), subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

The Company is obligated under the Purchase Agreement and the RRA to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register the Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the resale by White Lion of shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue to White Lion under the Purchase Agreement.

 

Subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions including, without limitation, the effectiveness of a resale registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the shares issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company’s right to sell shares to White Lion commenced upon the execution of the Purchase Agreement, and extends until 36 months from the execution of the Purchase Agreement, or until the Company has exercised in full its right to sell shares to White Lion under the Purchase Agreement (the “Commitment Period”). During the Commitment Period, subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company may notify (such notice, a “Purchase Notice”) White Lion when the Company exercises its right to sell shares.

 

The Purchase Notice may be a (i) Fixed Purchase Notice, (ii) Rapid Purchase Notice, or (iii) VWAP Purchase Notice, each as described below.

 

Under a “Fixed Purchase Notice”, the purchase price to be paid by White Lion will equal 85% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement, “VWAP”) of the Common Stock during five consecutive business days prior to, ending on and including the applicable notice date. The maximum number of shares under each Fixed Purchase Notice will be the lesser of: (a) 30% of the “Median Daily Trading Volume” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and (ii) $250,000 divided by the highest closing price of the Common Stock over the most recent five business days.

 

Under a “VWAP Purchase Notice”, the purchase price to be paid by White Lion will equal 97.5% of the VWAP of the Common Stock during the “VWAP Purchase Valuation Period” (as determined under the Purchase Agreement) less five cents ($0.05) per share. The maximum number of shares under each VWAP Purchase Notice will be the lesser of: (a) 20% of the “Average Daily Trading Volume” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and (ii) $200,000 divided by the highest closing price of the Common Stock over the most recent five business days.

 

 

 

 

Under a “Rapid Purchase Notice”, the purchase price to be paid by White Lion will equal, at the Company’s option: (i) the lowest traded price of the Common Stock during the “Rapid Purchase Notice Date”, or (ii) 99% multiplied by the lowest traded price two (2) hours following the confirmation by the Investor of the Rapid Purchase Notice. The “Rapid Purchase Notice Date” will be the same business day that a Rapid Purchase Notice is received and confirmed, if before 2:00 p.m. New York time, or else the next business day, unless waived by White Lion. The maximum number of shares under each Rapid Purchase Notice will be the lesser of: (a) 20% of the “Average Daily Trading Volume” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and (ii) $200,000 divided by the highest closing price of the Common Stock over the most recent five business days.

 

The Company may terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time, provided that the Company shall have delivered the Commitment Shares to White Lion prior to such termination. In addition, the Purchase Agreement shall automatically terminate on the earlier of (i) the end of the Commitment Period or (ii) the date that, pursuant to or within the meaning of any bankruptcy law, the Company commences a voluntary case or any person commences a proceeding against the Company, a custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or substantially all of its property or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors. No termination of the Purchase Agreement will affect the registration rights provisions contained in the RRA.

 

In consideration for the commitments of White Lion, as described above, the Company has agreed to issue to White Lion shares of Common Stock in three tranches in the following amounts: (i) $125,000 divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the day of effectiveness of the Registration Statement; (ii) $125,000 divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the 180th day following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement; plus (iii) $125,000 divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the day the Company receives $7,500,000 in aggregate total gross amount received from Purchase Notices, less clearing costs (collectively, the “Commitment Shares”).

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into the RRA with White Lion under which the Company agreed to file, within 30 days following the execution of the Purchase Agreement, a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the Commitment Shares and the shares of Common Stock to be purchased by White Lion under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement and RRA contain customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and the RRA are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

 

The offer and sale of the Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. The Common Stock may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K, nor the exhibits attached hereto, is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Common Stock described herein or therein.

 

In the Purchase Agreement, White Lion represented to the Company that it is an “accredited investor”, as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act, and the Company’s offer and sale of the Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement are being made (or, with respect to the Commitment Shares, have been made) in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
